Identified as 1967 cal 12. Looks OK to me. Is it correct? Thank- you.

bezel has been polished & the black paint removed - incorrect.
1967 is way too early for a Cal.12, can't see the serial number, but assume the seller is misinterpreting the "Brevet" or patent number as the production year ?

Thanks Fred. Some day hopefully I'll be able to spot these things myself!
